Police: Man shot to death in West Oakland; shooter remains at-large

OAKLAND -- A man was shot and killed Saturday morning in West Oakland, and a stretch of San Pablo Avenue was closed while police investigated.

The name of the Oakland man, believed to be 23 years old, was not immediately available.

The shooting may have followed a fight between the victim and another person, but that theory remains under investigation.

The man was shot at 7:30 a.m. in the 2200 block of San Pablo Avenue, and a stretch of the road between Mead Avenue and 27th Street was closed to traffic.

No one has been arrested in the shooting, and police do not have a clear motive. The killing brings this year's homicide count to 51.

The homicide came after two nonfatal shootings Friday night, one in North Oakland and one in East Oakland, police said. A 19-year-old man, whose name was not released, was shot in the 500 block of 59th Street about 8:40 p.m. Friday. He is in stable condition, police said.

At 11:50 a.m., a 22-year-old man, whose name was also not released, was shot in the 2200 block of 86th Avenue. Witnesses saw the shooter flee in a car. The victim is in critical condition but is expected to live, police said.

Police and Crime Stoppers are offering up to $10,000 for information in the homicide and up to $5,000 for information in each nonfatal shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 510-238-3821, a tip line at 510-773-2805 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.
